Seems like a “chicken or the egg” argument. Yes, he stunk as a candidate, knifed Republicans in the back whenever he had the chance and was terrified of being called racist by the Obamedia so he tiptoed around Obama’s history of racism and thuggery. He sucked with a slurping noise. And that’s why lots of conservatives stayed home. Me, I voted for Sarah. I don’t know if that makes you right or wrong or both at the same time…? I just wanted to vent my spleen…again. Thanks for the opening.

More importantly, what is it doing for Michelle Obama’s children?

That’s funny dude.

Steele sounds whiny and defeatist. Not leadership material. Thanks for trying, Laura.

Yesterday 8 or 9 percent of home owners were behind. Today an article says that 1 in five are in trouble.

I just do not get it.

As hard as I search I can not find a definition of poverty level. I mean this! Can anyone?

Yet POVERTY LEVEL IS USED EVERYWHERE.

If you live in NY city and make 80k or in wyoming and make 20k are you or family in poverty.

Almost everyone in government acknowlege the guidelines for poverty are not valid yet all and any benefits are based on these random figures.

Is that what High School teacher Jay Bennish said while getting raked over the coals by KHOW talk show host Peter Boyles for comparing Bush to Hitler in 2006?

Hey Michael, conservatives want you to answer the DAMN questions and play it STRAIGHT.

Geeeeesh. Will this guy ever learn? Very weak.

Steele is making an effort to reach people who have been cut off from their Republican roots …

I did not leave the Republican Party … they left me.

It’s all smoke and mirrors and playacting to Dems and their accomplices in the MSM, so you need to play the same b.s. game as competently.

That’s all a “Big Tent” means.

Steer the meme in your favor.

This is the most ridiculous statement I have ever seen. Blacks were recruited into the Democratic Party as part of the “coalition” Roosevelt put together in the 1930s. Some elements (Catholics, union members, southerners, etc.) deflected. Blacks and Jews never left.

Anyone who starts off saying “my job is…” comes off as defensive and frustrated. We need someone hardcore as RNC Chairman. Think McCaulife Sniveling Douche Bag and Howard Dean Unhinged Retard.

No thanks….

I don’t think we should either. I do, however, wonder where the articulate Steele I once knew has gone lately.

He needs to get his house in order, form a plan, and come out fighting with a message.

I have concerns as well about posting Steele in the GOP leadership. The RNC Chair will be the leading spokesman for the GOP during the Obama years. That means he will have to confront Obama on all the issues.

The first time Steele tries to confront Obama on any issue the left will grossly and unfairly label Steele as “Uncle Tom Steele”. That would be both unfair and unfortunate but knowing the left its a very good possiblity.

Id hate for Mr Steele to be smeared simply because of his race but any minority GOPer faces that possibility. The question is does Steele have the fortitude to rise above that or would he pull his punches to appear conciliatory towards Obama ?

QUESTION: “Rush Limbaugh wants Obama to fail, what do you say to that as the leader of the RP?”

STEELE: “I’m not going to get into that, because I have a message to give to the American people.”

QUESTION: “D.L. Hughley made a statement that he thought the RNC looked like a convention of Nazi’s and you seemed to agree with him. Why didn’t you call him on it?”

STEELE: “I’m not going to deal with what somebody says to me in an interview, I’ve only been on this job for 30 days. I want to move forward with my message.”

TRANSLATION: Steele has no intenion of answering questions. He wants to disseminate his talking points, and nothing more. That may fly with the K Street set, but it won’t fly with me, or the rest of the country! If he thinks he can get away with avoiding questions that may be uncomfortable, or challenging, then he is sadly misguided. No excuse for not doing his homework and not being prepared with intelligent, concise, and well-thought out answers.

How many converts to the Republican Party from the Hippy-Hoppy world?

W.E.A.K.

L.A.M.E.

Steele did drop the ball on the Nazi comment.

He should have stood up and ripped his mike off while asking that asshole if he noticed any brownshirts or Waffen SS at the convention.

BacaDog on March 4, 2009 at 3:41 PM

Of course he did. But I’m not willing to throw the man under the bus for it. I’ve been in situations where I should have walked out of a room or kicked someone in the balls (and then walked out of the room) because of something they said, also. Hindsight is 20/20.

African Americans are African Americans first…everything else comes after.

UnEasyRider on March 4, 2009 at 4:58 PM

While in the case of STeele I am inclined to agree, I am not so accepting of the notion Clarence Thomas, Ken Blackwell or Condi Rice see color first.

There are too many people here who care what Leftists think.

Why do women like Coulter, Palin, and baldilocks have to show men what “sack” is?
